WOLFLESS: The Last Moon Born Wolf
Six years ago, the Alpha King rejected Alexandra Carlow in front of his whole pack. Six words: "I reject you as my mate, Alexandra." She walked out without a tear, and the world has called her wolfless ever since.
Now he owns every cent her family owes, and he wants her to marry him.
Zayvian Blackthorn says the one-year contract is the only way to keep her sick little brother safe from the council. Alexandra signs. The second the ink dries, a second heartbeat starts in her chest. It's his. The bond he swore he destroyed was never cut.
Alexandra has a secret no one knows. She can hear every heartbeat in a room, and every lie. But there are two hearts she can't hear: Edmund Williams, the most powerful man on the council, and the one man in the Keep who is kind to her.
Julian loves Theo like his own brother, and he's the first person to make Alexandra feel safe. She can't tell whether what she feels for him is love or just relief at being treated like a person. Julian knows exactly what he feels. He's falling for her, and he has no idea what it will cost them both.
Then everyone around her starts dying.
When the king nearly dies, the moon turns red and Alexandra learns what she really is: the last of the Moonborn, the oldest wolves alive, and exactly what Edmund has been waiting for.
On the night of the blood moon, she's dragged into a ring of fire, her mate dying on the stone, and told to show her power.
The man who comforted her is the one holding the knife.
She was never wolfless. She was sealed.

Chapter: Sixty hearts, One lieBy morning, the whole Keep knew a wolf had died in the courtyard.By noon, they knew whose balcony it had been climbing toward.I felt it in every corridor. Servants stopped talking when I passed. Guards who had avoided my eyes the day before now stared at the floor like men who had seen something they weren't supposed to. Behind every closed door, I heard the same whisper.Someone wants her dead.I found Zayvian in his study at ten. He sat behind a desk the size of a coffin, shirtless to the waist, while Dr. Bruce bent over his shoulder with a needle. The wound was black-edged and angry, with fine silver veins spidering out across his skin like frost on glass."Silver," Dr. Bruce muttered. "It will heal, but slowly, and it will hurt.""It already hurts," Zayvian said, without turning around. "Hello, Alexandra."Heat shot up my neck. I made myself not look at the ink curling across his chest in dark thorned vines, or the long pale scar that ran from his collarbone to his spine."Who c

Chapter: The wolf in the courtyardThe blood on the floor was still wet when the second howl rose from the courtyard.I ran.Barefoot, in a borrowed nightgown, down the spiral stair and through corridors lit by guttering torches. A guard stepped into my path and stopped dead when he saw my face. I only knew the howl was coming from the courtyard, and where his heartbeat should have been, there was nothing in my chest but a silence like a held breath.Rowan caught me at the arched doorway, one hand braced across the stone."Luna. Go back.""He's hurt.""He's fine. Go back to your rooms.""Rowan." My voice cracked. "His heart stopped."Something moved across his face, quick and raw. Then, very slowly, he lowered his arm."Stay behind me," he said.I didn't.The courtyard lay silver under the moon. Guards stood in a ragged ring along the walls, weapons drawn, forty hearts racing in forty chests. Not one of them was looking at the intruder.They were looking at the king.He stood in the center of the stones, on four legs,

Chapter: The Silence Between Two heartsI should have gone to bed.Instead I crossed the room barefoot and stopped in front of that black door, close enough to feel the wood's cold breath on my face.On the other side, the pacing had stopped. It had been going for an hour.Somehow that was worse. I had been braced for a man pacing. I hadn't been braced for the sound of him holding his breath.I pressed my palm flat against the grain. Beneath my ribs, the second heartbeat was running fast, the heartbeat of a man standing perfectly still and trying not to be heard."I know you're there," I said.Silence.A pause. Then, through the door, so low I felt it more than heard it, his voice."Go to bed, Alexandra."My stomach turned over. I hated that. I hated that three words in the dark could do that, after six years."Rowan said someone pointed you at my debts. Who?""Not tonight.""Then when?""When it's safe.""Safe for whom?"Nothing. Just the shape of his breathing, ragged and carefully controlled, pressed against the other si

Chapter: The Luna’s Forbidden HeartA nurse came to wheel Theo down for his scans, chattering about ice cream and cartoons. The door clicked shut behind them.Then Dr. Bruce crossed the room, turned the key in the lock, and drew the curtain over the little window. He did it the way a man closes a coffin. Nothing said next would leave this room."Tell me what's wrong with me.""Nothing is wrong with you." His voice cracked. "That is what frightens me."He lowered the stethoscope. His hands would not stop shaking."Your own heartbeat is perfectly healthy, Miss Carlow. The second belongs to someone else. It's slower, heavier, stronger. It beats in your chest as though it has lived there for years."*Thud. Thud. Thud.*I didn't have to ask whose.He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Forty years a physician, Miss Carlow. Ten thousand hearts. I have never heard one that was listening back.""A rejection kills a mate bond," he said slowly. "It leaves a wound. Scars. Sometimes madness. What it does not leave is an echo

Chapter: Two Hearts, One cageZayvian recovered faster than I did.One breath he was gripping his chest like a man shot through the heart. The next, the mask slid back into place, and he straightened his cuffs as though nothing had happened."You should sit," he said."What was that?""What was what?""Don't." I pressed my palm flat against my sternum. The second pulse was still there, steady beneath my own, like someone knocking from the other side of a wall. "You felt it. You staggered. You said impossible.""A binding contract carries ritual weight." His voice was even. "It's old magic.""Is that the truth?""It's the only answer I can give you today."I didn't need to listen for the lie. His heart was inside my chest, and I felt it go careful, like a man stepping around a sleeping dog. He hadn't lied. He just hadn't said yes."Rowan."The iron doors opened instantly. The Beta must have been standing right behind them. His eyes went to me, then the king, then the white knuckles gripping the stone table, and som

Chapter: SeventeenThe night I turned seventeen, the moon was silver when I walked into the clearing.I want that on the record, because afterward the elders swore it had been a Blood Moon from the start. An omen, rare as a king's mercy. They needed it to be an omen. It was easier than the truth.Every wolf in the northern territories had come for the Gathering, the one night a year when the young are brought before the moon to be scented, to wake their wolves, and, if the Goddess is kind, to find their mates.I wore my mother's silver necklace and a white dress I'd sewn myself, badly, because we couldn't afford a tailor. I'd practiced my walk in the kitchen until my little brother Theo, four years old and sitting on the counter, declared I looked like a duck."A very pretty duck," he added.I laughed. I remember that. I remember being happy. I remember my mother's thin hands fixing the back of my dress, and her heart, steady and tender, the one heart in the world I had never needed to listen to for the
